There are so many Goldfinches visiting at the moment there is usually plenty of squabbling, especially amongst the impatient youngsters. Like us they have three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and teatime.
There is a microphone behind a small solar panel on the shed. One day I could hear constant tapping which turned out to be a Blue Tit pecking at the woodwork where a cable enters the shed. The hole is plugged with Blu-Tack. The bird then goes on to investigate the tapes which hold various cables together. Insects use those as safe havens and the Blue Tits often go looking to see what they can find..
Have a great weekend observing the wildlife around you.
A superb Friday............The colour seems much more vibrant today. The Goldfiches help with that. It is always amazing how fast birds learn where food is.........good job the Jackdaws haven't taken to investigating the wiring. You'd have none left.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful of the blue tit to keep your wires all clean and bug free!
ReplyDeleteMuch better entertainment watching your videos than spending £11 at the odeon cinema!
ReplyDeleteThank you Adrian. A bit of tweaking of the gamma and contrast can make quite a difference.
ReplyDeleteI have them all trained to earn their supper Wilma ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Matron. I haven't been to a cinema for at least 35 years. The last time I went it cost me 10 shillings, double normal price for a one day showing of Swan Lake!
